I was reading about that whole LD vs Jam thing. I was thinking yay august 20-22nd where the 23rd is my actual birthday, however at the end someone was talking about “homebrew middleware” essentially not being allowed. Which means I can’t enter the compo with my editor and engine? It’s essentially homebrew middleware. If I can’t use it then I probably won’t enter, unless I’m just so good with AS3 that I can whip something up in no time, I will consider it then, at least I have a month.

Ooh, wee! I’m gone the weekend before and the weekend after! I’m SO in!
I also approve of the idea of stricter compo rules + an open jam session. I’d be very happy if people can’t use their own half-completed “engines” and just add graphics, and I’d really see even more middleware get outlawed, including physics engines.
Regardless, my primary reason for joining has always been for the fun of writing a game in 48 hours while others try to do the same. 😀

“Updated rules, plus details on the Compo+Jam system coming late July. Stay tuned.”

now being the second week into August I kinda need to know if what I have been doing is still legit for the contest part (using love previously, using processing this time unless I chicken out, using texture generator output made during the contest, that I use on my original during the contest made graphics)

and just what is currently agreed on as acceptable over all

and if not I need time to arrange peoples schedules to do a (small) team jam
